TALKS & WORKSHOPS

Wellbeing sessions for companies and organisations

I’m an experienced public speaker and event facilitator. I offer talks and workshops covering various topics that align with my mission to help people lead a happier, more fulfilling life.

Some example wellbeing sessions - 1 hr online - ‘lunch & learn’ webinars - with Q&A and handout

  • ‘BEREAVEMENT, GRIEF AND LOSS’

The session helps attendees gain a better understanding of grief and loss, particularly in relation to bereavement. The aim is to raise awareness and build resilience so attendees feel well-supported and can function better. Through the session, attendees will understand how to recognise different types of grief, learn coping mechanisms and be signposted on to resources to support themselves and others when dealing with loss.

  • ‘NAVIGATING DIFFERENT TYPES OF LOSS’

This session considers the impact of losses like divorce, the ending of a friendship or relationship, and pet loss - including what can make these experiences so painful, as well as the impact of secondary losses (eg. the loss of a family home after a divorce). We will consider how understanding wellbeing and developing resilience can help us manage difficult life events, before looking at how to apply this awareness via some practical suggestions.

  • ‘NEURODIVERSITY & GRIEF’

Neurodiversity (variations in the way people's brains work) can lead to differences in how people behave, communicate and experience the world around them, so this session will explore how those differences can impact an individual’s experience of grief. The session will be delivered with the needs of neurodiverse individuals in mind, but welcomes anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of the topic (for themselves or others). Attendees will learn helpful coping strategies and be signposted on to further resources and sources of support.
